Product Overview
Key Features
Technology Description
The technology ECO Pots is a device and method to convert organic waste into compost that will feed and grow plants within the same container. The concept behind the technology is to clean the earth by using organic waste material generated in households and restaurants to feed and grow plants that will in turn provide fruit and vegetables for consumption. This benefits the ecology by removing millions of tons of organic waste from being deposited in landfills. It also translates into less pollution generated by trash trucks hauling waste to the landfills.
It provides food security and reduces the use of chemicals and pesticides. Two outer sections of a pot hold the organic waste and soil. As this decomposes nutrients filter through root holes in separator plates that house the plant in the center section of the pot. Individuals that are environmentally minded will find this a solution to a number of issues in one device. Due to its small footprint it is designed to be used in residential and urban environments where a yard may not be available for composting. Pots can be arranged on a patio, a balcony, the rooftop or even indoors. It is recommended that 20 pots be used in the same area to provide pollination, air cleansing through CO2 removal and O2 creation. This is a stand-alone product that is scalable to different size pots and uses.
Potential Benefits
Benefits that this technology offers are:
- Grow your own organic fruit and vegetables at home.
- Clean the air by increasing oxygen levels.
- Reduce landfill waste by composting your organic waste at home.
- Reduce air pollution with fewer trucks moving garbage.
- We are running out of space for landfills, so this can extend the need for the next location.
- This is a low cost solution to a large problem.
- Anyone can learn to compost in two minutes.
- Composting helps save the earth.
The development status of this technology is as follows:
- A finalized product has been exhibited and recently won the Municipalika 2012 Invention Award for Urban Waste in Chennai.
- Another six months and Rs 40 Lakh (US$100,000) is required to be market ready.
- Estimated price for 20 pots is Rs 5000 (US$125).
- About Rs 10 Lakh (US$25,000) has been spent to develop this technology.
- The design is relatively simple, so use and implementation of the ECO Pot is very easy and anyone can learn how to use it in two minutes.
- At this time 15,000 pots can be produced per month.
- It is made of plastic, so manufacturers skilled in the production of gardening pots would be able to design tooling to make this on a large scale relatively quickly.
